I was at a night club watching a student’s band play about a year ago. While I was there I was fixated on a young man who was dancing wildly in the center of the dance floor. He danced like he was the only person in the room. I began to think about worship and something in me told me that’s what I was watching, a unique worship. What unfolded before me was pure rhythm and joy demonstrated in reckless abandon and freedom. I want to worship God like that . . .

“ . . . Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD . . .” —2 Samuel 6:14-16

“Worship also means to "express in some appropriate manner" what you feel....” —A.W. Tozer

A Prayer For Artists

"O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." (Book of Common Prayer, p. 818)
